Two students and their mother who were killed at the northeast corner of Kimball and North Ave., on October 28, 2007 when an automobile lost control, jumped the sidewalk, and crashed into them as they where walking to the dentist. A decade ago, Stowe lost the lives of two other students to a similar traffic accident at this same corner. A spontaneous community shrine has been created at the corner. The third grade students at Stowe remembered their lost friends by installing, on the fence of the corner, silhouettes of themselves and an image of the mother holding her two children. These silhouettes serve an important role in healing their loss. This temporary installation is made of weather resistant plastic, and was easy to put up and take down.
